Summary:
The claimant left his employment because of stress as a result of his work commute and his inability to get his children to their extracurricular activities. The BOR allowed the claimant's appeal on just cause finding that he had made the decision to quit only after trying his best to find another solution. The FCA confirmed that the claimant had to adduce evidence to prove on a balance of probabilities that, in all the circumstances, he had no reasonable alternative other than to leave his employment, in order to discharge his parental responsibilities.
